SW 126.2 (April 14th, 2020)
Highest lifetime weight: 138 lbs. August 2011
Goal Weight: 110
Previous rounds: 125.2 -> 122.8 -> 121.6 -> 121.2 -> 119.8-> 119.4 -> 117.8 ->116.6 -> 117.2 ->117.2->114.8 ->116.8 -> 116.4 -> 114.0 -> 115 -> 115.4 ->115 ->113 -> 113-> 113.8 ->114.6 -> 113.6 -> 115.8-> 116 -> 115.6 -> 117.6
Goal weight for this round: Seeing 115 would be fantastic! Hoping to get rid of the bloat I had from last round.
Another goal: Actually check-in each day and weigh daily.
Previous days01/11 115.8 I’ll happily accept that weight. It’s nice to finally have a round where I lost instead of gained or stayed the same. This was also the first round where a holiday wasn’t really involved. I started my day today with some yoga and then jumped on the spin bike because I wanted to see how it felt while fasting. I wasn’t the biggest fan of spinning while fasting, I didn’t feel as energized as I am during an afternoon session. I just knew my day would be longer today and didn’t feel like showering in the afternoon. At least, it’s now done for the day.
01/02 Haven’t weighed yet for the round. I plan on doing that tomorrow. I took a bit of a hiatus yesterday but caught up with the last posts for the last round. Congrats to everyone and what they accomplished last year! My food was decent yesterday, and it’s looking well calculated today. I’ve had left over collards, one meat ball before they all went in the sauce, two slices of hearty whole grain toast (5g fiber and 5g protein per slice) with cream cheese on one and butter on the other slice (all weighed out 😊). I’m pretty full (it was a lot of left over collards), so I’ll probably make it until dinner without a snack. Dinner will be homemade meatballs I started earlier today and they are now floating contently in homemade tomato sauce. By the time dinner rolls around they will have been getting cozy with the sauce for about 6 hours. I’ll also make some whole wheat thin spaghetti to go with it. Have a good Saturday night everyone!
01/03 Will weigh today at some point. Last night’s dinner went well. My husband I went for a long 7.5 mile hike around a local reservoir this morning. The trail sign said 6 miles but it ended up being longer. It turned out well and it was so pretty! I am pretty tired from it today, so we’ve watched a few episodes of ER on Hulu and finished up a few chores. When I got home from the hike, I heated up some carrot ginger soup I had in the freezer and had a slice of toast to go with it. Then, a little later I had a sweet potato with a meatball and a touch of sauce on top. Dinner will be portioned out Trader Joe’s orange chicken and then I think I’m roasting myself some butternut squash to go with it on the side. The calories burned from the long walk are helping me indulge a bit with the orange chicken!
I look forward to being in maintenance again hopefully sooner rather than later, 1200-1275 calories a day plus eating back 150-300 exercise calories on average adds up quick even when eating healthy.
01/04 118.2 Up down up down. Bodies are weird. Not sure what’s on the agenda for today food wise. Maybe some toast with peanut butter for breakfast with an apple on the side. I want to try and make some onion soup because we have a ton of onions and are getting more in our winter CSA this week.
01/05 116.0 Whoooooooooosh. I drank lots of fluids yesterday as well as having the onion soup that had lots of greens in it too. I think all the potassium in the greens and the rest of my diet yesterday really helped to push that extra fluid retention I had going on. I made a spiced pear quick bread this morning and created it to have lots of fiber, so hopefully it’ll keep me full for a while. My snack will be onion soup plus 2 meatballs and dinner will be split chicken breasts with more soup and roasted potatoes on the side. I hope you all have an awesome day!
01/06 busy day, didn’t have a minute to post
01/07 Need to weigh still, will do later or tomorrow morning. I had the day off yesterday but was running around all day. I started my day with a 60 minute yoga session and then I did the 60 minute spin bike ride I said I wanted to do. So, I was excited I completed it! Right after the ride I had to jump in the shower and then run to the dentist, then I got my husband’s oil changed, then I headed to pick up lunch for my best friend (also my hair dresser) and I, we ate lunch and then she cut my hair (first hair cut since February 2020!), after that I picked up our winter csa share and headed home. Then, at home my husband practiced doing an assessment on me for his fieldwork, we ate dinner and then got ready for bed.
My food was decent overall thanks to all of my activity yesterday. I started the day with the pear bread I made, then I got a kiddie sized soft serve while I was waiting for my lunch order (I’ve been wanting soft serve for weeks now, so I decided to get a kiddie size to squelch the craving and it really worked!), then for lunch I got a Greek salad with chicken on it, the salad was so big I was able to eat the rest of it for dinner along with the pita bread. Have a good day!
01/08 did not post. The day got away from me! Early morning dr appt and then a busy work day and evening
01/09 117.4 I decided I’m truly not letting the number bother me because I know my body is getting stronger and improving in more ways than just getting rid of weight. When I see lower numbers it’s really nice but when I see a blip up I can usually feel it and know why (like my face feels puffy or swollen). The past couple of days have had some pretty salty food in them between Greek salad on Wednesday and Buffalo Wild Wings and a couple of glasses of bubbles last night. I’m actually pleasantly surprised the number is what it is because I was 118.4 yesterday.
I picked up our meat CSA on Thursday and they were selling beef bones (at a price I couldn’t resist), so I bought some to make bone broth as my weekend project. I’m excited to see how it’ll taste! Have a happy Saturday everyone!
01/10 116.4 We had a nice lounge day yesterday but I still managed to putz around the house and not sit around allllll day. I successfully made bone broth and it’s reducing now in the croc pot. It was a long process but pretty hands off. My food was pretty solid too, I was able to turn down take out food that my husband was ordering and I made myself brunch instead. Now I have breakfast sausage waiting for me today that are all cooked and I’ll have a couple of them with two slices of toast with cream cheese, plus an apple and orange. My lunch/snack will be Greek yogurt with an apple topped with Trader Joe’s sesame covered cashews. I bought the cashews for the first time this week and wondered why I never bought them before. They are so yummy! Dinner will be chicken drumsticks (I think I’ll skip eating the skin) and roasted kohlrabi over salad greens. Plus, maybe a chocolate fiber granola bar thing from TJ’s for dessert.
Food has been good so far today, part of my breakfast was the bone broth I made this weekend with an egg simmered in it. The broth was amazing! I’m also looking forward to making some tacos tonight for dinner!
Goals: Yoga every day! Spin bike at least 5 times per week with at least one 45 – 60 minute ride per week, two 30 minute rides, and two 20 minute rides.
01/02 Did 30 minutes of a rise and shine yoga video, then my husband and I went for a walk in a local state forest/conservation area that was around 4 miles. Giving my body a break from the bike today. Will plan on doing a ride tomorrow. I have more goals to think about but those are the main two bumped up a little bit from the last challenge.
01/03 Did a 20 minute yoga video and then stretched a bit more afterwards. My husband and I also went for a 7.5 mile hike. My body was tired after that, so I didn’t use the spin bike. Will bike tomorrow morning or afternoon.
01/04 Did a 30 minute yoga video this morning and plan on doing a 20 or 30 minute spin ride today.
01/05 Did a 20 minute yoga video but it was more of a mini bodyweight workout. It was cool to do something a little different for a change. I managed to do a 30 minute spin bike ride yesterday! Today, I plan on doing another 30 minute ride because she posted a new 30 min disco music ride. Tomorrow, my goal is to do a 60 minute vinyasa flow and then jump on the bike afterwards and do a 60 minute ride.
01/06 60 minute yoga video and 60 minute spin bike video
01/07 did a 20ish minute yoga video this morning and a 20 minute spin ride this afternoon. I also want to go for a walk at some point today around the neighborhood.
01/08 Did not post but managed a 15 minute yoga session and 20 minute spin bike ride.
01/09 Some sort of yoga is on the agenda for today and I’m not sure what else. (Completed a 20ish minute yoga video)
01/10 35 minute yoga video for achy backs plus some additional stretching. We also plan on going for a walk around the neighborhood.
01/11 35 minutes of yoga and 30ish minutes on the spin bike.

Day/Weight/Comment
01/01 …..207.8 ….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
01/02 …..208.1 ….. Travel today.
01/03 …..207.1 ….. Travel yesterday and again today. I don’t quite understand my fluctuations. I think water weight as I was up and down shedding all night. I won’t get in much movement today and food will be away from home again. Just got to get through these couple of days!
01/04 …..207.4 ….. Slightly up due to a very very late night dinner. Travel plans were cancelled at the very last minute and the day was haywire. However, I managed to get my 10,000 + steps in, though it wasn’t easy.
01/05 …..207.0 ….. Gotta make good choices today. I am expecting a handyman and his family over for most of the day to help take down and store my Christmas things. We’ll see how my meals go but there should be lots of activity.
01/06 …..207.2 ….. Very likely a no TMI fluctuation. Very exciting day! I had a 7 foot space on my livingroom wall (after changing the furniture) that was screaming for something. I found a beautiful sideboard in the perfect rich wood finish on facebook and had my handyman pick it up for me. I’m in HEAVEN. So beautiful and elegant. The lady sold it to the right person. I will respect it and take excellent care of it.
01/07 …..207.2 ….. A low calorie day. Perhaps the milk I couldn’t resist (16 oz).
01/08 …..207.0 ….. Food choices a bit better yesterday. Quantities were the real win.
01/09 …..208.6 ….. Whattttt????? Low calorie foods and good quantities yesterday. Milk again late at night, however. Is it causing this????? Stopping that habit!
01/10 …..208.6 ….. Low calorie meals but forced to eat very late again due to unexpected company. No TMI x 2 so that is not helping. Getting ready for a house full of people in the comping weeks for a bathroom remodel on bathroom #1. Fitting in my meals around the project and the family and friends that will be here to help daily will be impossible. I see many late dinners in my future. Uggg on the diet front, yay on the first bathroom remodel.
01/11 …..207.0 ….. Finally TMI and Whoosh. It makes sense according to what I’ve eaten the last couple of days. Travel today so I’ll probably not start the next round well. But I am very happy to be down almost a whole pound for the round even if it happened just in the nick of time and just by the skin of my teeth! Nice round everyone! We’re all getting back to work after the holidays and it’s nice to see so much progress!
My Goal is to get my 10,000 steps in daily (like I used to!)January 01 – 10,053 steps. I mean business!
January 02 – Traveled. Only 7308 steps.
January 03 – 10,571 steps. Travel plans were cancelled so I fit it in.
January 04 – 7120 steps
January 05 – 10,725 Took down Christmas décor so plenty of activity!
January 06 – 8341 steps. A little short.
January 07 – 6873 I was forced to charge my fitbit in the evening for awhile. I’m not sure how many steps were not recorded but I likely did not hit the 10,000.
January 08 – 6808 steps. Company all evening yesterday (until 1:00 a.m) A friend, but uninvited and unplanned so lots of sitting from 4:00 p.m. on.
January 09 – 9052 steps. Not many in the evening due to unexpected guest that stayed until 11:00 pm. Otherwise, a very active afternoon.
January 10 – 6792 steps. Movie night with a friend. Feet up during late evening. I should have worked harder during the day.6 -

Looking forward:
You are not stuck at home
You are SAFE at home
One word can change your attitude
☠️One cough can change your life☠️
😷Take care! Stay safe!😷
January focus: improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
Aims:
2021 Focus:- Maintain weight < 150
- Strengthen strategies to reframe the tendency to use unhealthy snack food as a reward/treat.
- Make sure I have prepared healthy snacks available
- Cut down on eating between meals by keeping busy
Never give up! Never give in!
Recent Back Story:- 2018 goal: get back down to 160 ✅
- 2019 goal: proceed down to 150 ✅ with 2 months to spare
- 2020 goal: maintain below 150 dropping slowly down to 145 ✅ Strength training has slowed progress, but that’s okay.
- That's a WIN in my book!
- 2021
- Focus: maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.
- (One good thing about Covid is that I don't have to traverse the minefield of family celebration meals.)

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

01/02 = 132.4
01/03 = 133.4
01/04 = 132.8 -- managed to get 10,024 steps today and stay under my calorie goal!
01/05 = 132.4 -- 6,093 steps today--need to remember to take breaks/move more during work hours.
01/06 = 133.2 -- 9,572 steps...sooo close to 10k darn it! Walk/ran 1.75 miles-it's much harder to run in snow!
01/07 = 133.8 -- 7,725 steps..fell asleep last night while reading/catching up on the posts here, so didn't type my entry! it wasn't because they were boring either, I was just exhausted:) America the Beautiful is...breaking my heart this week. And yes, I am American.
01/08 = 133.4 -- 10,003 steps! tonight I'm typing before reading posts...just in case haha [edit: I still fell asleep before posting this. LOL] Ran on asphalt because trails are snowy/icy. Terrible decision--made my shin splints flare up:(
01/09 = 132.8 -- 2,374 steps:( but it's because I left my fitbit on the charger. which raises that age-old question: if your fitbit didn't record steps, did they really happen? HA!
01/10 = 134.2 -- sighhhhh...something's gotta change. Clearly. We had Qdobas this weekend, I'm sure that didn't help, although I split my meal, ate half for dinner, other half for lunch next day.. Posting this at 9:50 a.m. because obvious reasons (see above posts:)
01/11 = 133.8 -- 5,082 steps. hoping for good weather tomorrow so I can go on a walk/jog. see ya for the next round:)~ Faith Is Taking The First Step, Even When You Don’t See The Whole Staircase [martin luther king jr] ~5 -

I'm not worried at all about this gain. It's occurring because I've started my dumb period. It should correct itself soon.
🏃 01/04: 142.2
It's all bloat. I am unconcerned. I'll try drinking extra water.

Looking forward:
You are not stuck at home
You are SAFE at home
One word can change your attitude
☠️One cough can change your life☠️
😷Take care! Stay safe!😷
January focus: improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
Aims:
2021 Focus:- Maintain weight < 150
- Strengthen strategies to reframe the tendency to use unhealthy snack food as a reward/treat.
- Make sure I have prepared healthy snacks available
- Cut down on eating between meals by keeping busy
Never give up! Never give in!
Recent Back Story:- 2018 goal: get back down to 160 ✅
- 2019 goal: proceed down to 150 ✅ with 2 months to spare
- 2020 goal: maintain below 150 dropping slowly down to 145 ✅ Strength training has slowed progress, but that’s okay.
- That's a WIN in my book!
- 2021
- Focus: maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.
- (One good thing about Covid is that I don't have to traverse the minefield of family celebration meals.)

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.
